BONITA SPRINGS - A 25-year-old Bonita Springs man died Thursday night after his car crashed into a power pole on Bonita Beach Road.

Daniel Dean Vinson died in the crash that occurred about 9:15 p.m. near the intersection of Bonita Beach Road and Old 41 Road in Bonita Springs, the Florida Highway Patrol reports.

Vinson was driving a 2006 Nissan Altima westbound in the inside lane of Bonita Beach Road when he lost control of the car and veered to the right. The car, which rotated clockwise and traveled in a northwesterly direction across the westbound lanes, struck a Dumpster on the north shoulder of the road before striking a county road sign and a concrete power pole with its left side, the FHP reports.

Vinson was pronounced dead at the scene of the Independence Day crash.

Some residents in the Riverside Park area told NBC-2 that they lost power to their homes after the crash. A Florida Power & Light crew was on scene to deal with the electrical issue.
